Your Character's Name: [Rio]
After bailing out the crew from the bar we got back together and decided to head north through the old Highway 45. I don’t know if these guys have ever gone through there but that so called highway is barely a road trail with a ton of trees and bushes perfect for ambushes. I know this because I am guilty of stealing from wanderers and dudes who think they can trade their illegal “merchandise” without any problems as long as you are far enough from getting caught.
I still decide to roll with them because if we hit big money with this mission I would no longer need to do all the dirty work just to keep from starving. I know what I am getting myself into but they don’t need to know that. No need to tell them how I know about it or anything that brings up the past. If they want to know they would have to do their own investigation somewhere else because I will not be doing the job for them by exposing everything about me.
After some time traveling along the highway we finally run into a rundown building. After traveling for so long we started to think we should try to loot. I in particular was starvin like marvin so I desperately wanted to find some munchies. We sneak inside the first floor and it was a disaster with rubble all over the place looked more like a basement after an earthquake than anything else. We all noticed some stairs that would lead towards the second floor that were in bad shape too but it would not be so much of a mission to get past them so we all went for it. The second floor was a different story, people are definitely here.
Nothing sticks out more in a place like than a replaced door. This just reminds of the days when I would get jacked up with my buddies just to forget about everything. We would always hide in abandoned places like this one. I know whoever is in a place like this is either doing no good or on the run. I look at the rest of the crew and I can tell that they want to break in. I hate the waiting game so I decide to go in first. I break in and run into a middle aged woman with a bunch of children behind her. She stood her ground and demanded who we were and our intentions. I could tell that even when she sounded like she was not afraid she knew that if she decided to confront us that she would be outnumbered. No matter what I still would hate to have to confront this woman, she seems to be taking care of these children which based off their dirty clothes and how skinny they look are abandoned. Makes me wonder how my daughter and my girl are doing, I haven’t heard from them since I got locked up the last time and that was almost ten years ago. I am just like the parents who abandoned the orphans here. No way would I want to jump these people.
“Relax girl! There is no point on acting all scandalous! We are not here to jump anybody. We just have a mission to take care of and this place just happens to be on our way there. Listen our mission does not involve you or this place. We just come in here to replenish our goods.”
Everybody can tell that this woman is still not completely buying it, I have been in situations like this before but now this lady has me thinking of my girl and I do not feel like traumatizing these kids.
The woman is all nervous and shaking and now she demands with her voice cracking an answer: “What do you want then?!”
“Have you seen any hostile groups lately? If you have seen any we would like to avoid them if possible.” The rest of the group is just giving me all kinds of crazy looks. I know how to talk to thugs and what to say at gun point but not what to say to a scared woman defending her kids. I see nothing wrong with dat.
“Hostile? That depends on whose side you on.” This gurl is not letting loose at all yet and her kids look scared as hell. This is when I decide to do one of the cheesiest things I have done in a while. I hope my group gives me an A for effort on this one.
I pull out a Disney mug that I wanted to give to my girl if I ever saw her again. But she’s got to be over ten years old right now. I offered it to one of the kids but still eyeballing the woman. A bunch of kids pop out from cover and snatch it away all happy and good. I noticed that Bordeaux seemed bored or aggravated until now. She comes up and asks the lady:
“Why do you have so many kids?”
Hearing that question makes this lady pretty salty. “They’re orphans! I can’t just let them die!” She tells us that the Bandits of the Hood supply her money to care for the kids. I absolutely do not buy that answer but whatever is clever I say.
She turns back to me: “It would be nice for the kids to have something nice for once. This is all I can offer you in return.” She loosens up and searches in a box from the back and brings out a bottle of fresh water.
“Hell yeah! I am sure this water is going to be on hit for sho later. I appreciate it.”
Claire jumps in and decides to offer trading as well. She gets a pair of batteries out of it. Ian and Robert stayed back the whole time. I wonder if they will actually watch my back or are they just in it for as long as the ride can take them. All I know is that it is out of order that girls were the only ones stepping up while the guys seemed to be punked out by this lady. Have to wonder how often these guys been in near death situations. Thus far the only person I can get along with the most is Claire. I feel that the rest of the entourage would leave me hanging if I got caught in deep shit. We’ll see in the future wassup with those guys.
The lady tells us that there are Bandits nearby if we really wanted to see them. I was surprised to see Robert and Claire pushing for this idea but that is good though. It is easier to blend my main interest with that of the group this way. We finally decide to bounce and head towards the Bandits.
Did not take long for things to get hot! Let’s see how the group handles it this time.
